Should FG withdraw Nigerian soldiers involved in peace keeping missions abroad?

I support this. You can't be sending troops on peace keeping mission in foreign countries when your own country is burning. Nigeria stands a better chance of defeating Boko Haram if these troops return and are deployed to the North. Which country is helping us tackle this Boko Haram menace? What do you guys think?

If the government is not ready to end this boko haram problem. Then returning the soldiers won't change anything. The problem is a lot more than adding a couple more soldiers...

Good Idea..

It's over 2 years I have being posting to relevant authorities, we are giant and mother of AfRica and our country is burning down. Withdraw them, they will imbibe their experience into our ground soldiers, develop more systematic approaapproach for the stability of the nation. Thank God we are now trying to get it right.

This is what I have always said. Withdraw our troops from all over the world, so dat dey can come fight these insurgents at home.

You are very right Linda. We can't be chasing rats when our house is on fire. It even sounds stupid. They should come home and help restore peace to our motherland.

Sending the troops to foreign countries is just like helping a neighbor put out the fire in his house while your own house is burning to ashes.

But with all the negativity and controversies surrounding the military these days, my question is Will the troops be well equipped to fight Boko Haram?

CELEB said...

AGB said...

I don't agree with this opinion. The influence Nigeria has or had is because we extended beyond our territories to reach out to other countries& peoples. If we pull back all our international help offered to other people& our sister-countries,we would be losing our influence& that would be harder for us to get things done internationally.

We need that international influence to make it easier for us to be heard on the international scene. An extrovert usually has more connections than an introvert.....Ask USA

chukadgreat said...

Yeah,let GEJ order our troops to come bk home ASAP,I think we stand a better chance with them

Unknown said...

I agree with. You lindsway

ary said...

We need all the help we can get, but the truth of the matter is that the soldiers outside are better off! They are better equipped and logistics are better planned! That we haven't quelled or stemmed the threat of Boko Haram isn't just down to numbers but piss poor planning on the part of our government.

Unknown said...

They shouldn't recall them. It's not that we can't defeat Boko haram you guys. Don't be pathetic. It's so obvious the government doesn't want to eradicate them yet. Who da f*ck is Boko.

amaka said...

pls we really need them back.

part of the reason i dont like people around GEJ, its as if they dont think. they dont need to be told b4 bringing them back.

I honestly dunno if i should support FG or not. To an extent, It's true that we need them & then they also need the money to sustain they & their family cause their salary ( at that rank ) is nothing to write home about. Anyways, which ever way sha.....

You are on point miss

Unknown said...

Those guys can only tackle boko haram if our government give them what they need to fight..

Beautyfoch said...

I concur fully. Nigeria should first remove the log of wood in their eyes bfor looking for the toothpick in another country's eyes. We need the peace more than other countries

Unknown said...

So there are troops abroad? Of course they should redeploy them back home. Nigeria needs ALL her soldiers to effectively combat BH.

Anonymous said...

i laugh at this question. how easily we've lost sight of what the army is for.
of course they should withdraw them and bring them home! theyre there to bring peace to other countries while BH is disturbing ours? wth!

I do not support this in any way. So that they can come and meet their death here abi? Our soldiers on international peace keeping win wars simply cos UN provide them with good weapons.
On the contrary here in Nigeria, they are given weapons that are way inferior to that of the enemies. That's like suicide mission!

Anonymous said...

Isn't that fallacy! We don't have peace in our country and we sent out soliders on peace keeping mission. What an irony!

Its not just about how we feel or think. Nigeria a diplomatic Nation and has had good relationship with other nations on different levels which one is sending troupes for such missions. Lets get over our selves and see that BH is more internal. we should not withdraw them totally.

RM said...

Most of them dt are on peace mission abroad hv a god father, so even if u bring them back dy will not post them, those dt don't hv god father & those some millitary ogas want to punish will still be posted to d north. Pls LIB readers we need to pray for our military men at d north fighting ds BH for us dt God will grant them his Devine protection. Amen

They are doing well there because UN is providing them with good weapons....if the come back to nigeria, government won't provide them with weapons to fight boko haram...and when they ask for it, they'll be sentenced to death..I'll prefer they stay there and make good living and provide for their families...Nigerian Military on Home soil is a shame.

Kenny said...

Rather than withdraw the Nigerian UN peace keepers. Nigerian Govt should be more strategic and raise their voice/complaints to the global community on their neglect (there various ways this can be done)-withdrawing troops will amount to Nigeria losing its strategic position in the UN-they could be repercussions- and sorry to say our Govt do not have resilience to go it alone!

Unknown said...

Please let our soldiers come back and help us to fight boko haram.

Bukas said...

Linda I agree with you, they should be withdrawn since the world left NIgeria to handle boko haram alone, lets withdraw all our troops and use them here. Let those countries also defend themselves

toyeen said...

Linda you need to understand that it's a good idea to have the soldiers fight for their country BUT the government will NEVER pay those soldiers what they deserve! The ogas @ the top would sit on the money, that is why our soldiers lobby to go on all this mission @ all cost because of the kind of money they are paid compared to what they get here! I would only support it if our government is willingly to look into that.

Anonymous said...

is it only to be deploying soldiers to their death that the country want. let them remain their at least they are safer there than our country where only bokoharam turns bigger than the federal government. do you know how many widows are in the barracks now? many of them are suffering in the dungeon cos they refuse to fight cos they are not fairly treated or well equipped? why do they need to waist troops? when federal government is not ready to eliminate bokoharam yet. abeg they should stop waisting soldiers life and fight the right battle from within themselves first. meanyle all these rotten police men should be trained and equipped to fight boko haram too, they are infesting, infecting and polluting our environment with their dogmatic behaviour. make them send police go there abeg.

Though it's commendable to withdraw the soldiers, the question is for what benefit? I guess is just to militarize the 2015 Elections. This our government is so sick. They should have withdrawn these soldiers a year or more ago to effectively kick out insurgency but lives are nothing to them. Shameless!

Juleslouis said...

Thats true. Linda u said it all. This boko haram menance has got to stop and we can only do it ourselves.

steve said...

my own is why the heck would a platoon be using ak's while boko is using better weapons.why should you use iron scopes instead of better ones. i beleive in my country and the men who die for it but for real "WE ARE UNDER EQUIPPED TO FIGHT AN UNTRAINED GROUP LIKE BOKO"!!!!

Anonymous said...

Nigeria Govt. need to be more strategic here rather than just blank removal of peace keepers. Nigeria should negotiate the withdrawal by seeking concrete support from the global community against Boko Haram-showing the world how much it has helped others in time of need. Our troops have died and protecting Nations- ECOMOG was largely funded by Nigeria even to the envy of the US. Nonetheless, lets also not forget that outright withdrawal could have its own repercussions and Nigeria need to be prepared against losing its relevance in UN. World powers are a cabal and unfortunately have capability to disrupt economies of smaller nations like Nigeria.
